lent Jacobin, of rough manners and brutal
temper, who, with his wife, treated him
with systematic cruelty. The young
Hrlnee was left alone in a cell day and
night without employment or amusement
or any opportunity for exercise or TO
breathe fresh air. A vessel of water.
seldom replenished, was given him. and
some coarse food was occasionally thrown
IN at the half-opened door. He was al
lowed no means of washing himself, and
his bed was not made tor months. His
limbs became rigid, and his mind, through
terror, griet and monOtOny, became imbe-
Gle, and at length deranged. Something
ne had said in reply to questions having
been perverted TO the injury of his mother
he resolved thenceforth TO be silent, and
Tor long period neither threats nor,
blows nor coaXings could induce him to
speak, When not sleeping he sat quietly
IN MS chair without uttering a sound or
sneddlng tear, or shrinking from the
rats with which his dungeon swarmed.
After the Reign of Terror he was placed
under more merciful Keepers, but was
still Kept In solitary conEnement and not
allowed to see his sister. imprisoned in an
adjoining apartment. Atlength. in May,
lI9o, a physician was allowed to see him,
who pronounced him dying OF scrofula.

Keepers, and the next day, June 8, his
body vas identified and certified to by
tour members of the committee of public
safety and more than twenty officials of
the Temple. A post-mortem examination
was made the same day by four distin-
guished physicians. On June 10 the re-
mains were buried in the cemetery of st.
Marguerite and every trace of the grave
carefully obliterated. The principal pre-
tenders who have claimed TO be louis XVII
were the Rev Eleazer Williams, who died
In 1858; Hervagult. a taior's son, who
died al Bicetre in 1872; Bruneau, another
mechanics son, who died in prison
about 1878; Hebert, who called himself
Baron de RichemOnt, Duke of Normandy,
aud after various arrests and imprison-
ments, died about 1855; and Norndortf,
son of Prussian locksmith, born in 1876,
died at Delft Aug. 10, 1916. The last
named published his autobiography, His
tore DIES intOrtunes du Dauphin. His
claims were pleaded in 1851, by Jules
Favre, before French court, at the in
stance of his son and daughter; but the
evidence OF the death of Louis XVII in
1895 was regarded as conclusive by the
court. The case was revived in 1874. with
the same result.

THE PORTER SAVED HIS LIFE.
Strange Incident on Board a Sleep
ing Car.
From tSe Ner York Times.

From sic Neu York Times.
PITTsBURG, Feb. 16.-An incident &C.
Cured early this morning on the limited
express on the Pan Handle railroad due
in this city at & O'Clock, which caused in
tense excitement among the passengers,
and in which one of them narrowly es-
capped with his life. The train was going
at very high rate Of speed at 2 O'Clock
this morning, when the porter on the st.
Louis sleeping Car was suddenly startled
by crash OF glass. He hurried forward
to the first section, from whence tine noise
seemed to have come, and which was oc-
cupled by young man en- route 10 WASH
lngton. The porter hastily pulled aside
the curtains, when he was Mortified by
the sight that met his gaze, The glass of
a large double window had been broken,
and the pieces were scattered around the
section. A mans head, arms and shout
ders had disappeared through the broken
window, while his legs ana feet remained
within the car. The speed Of the train
was so great that the cars swayed from
side TO side, and each moment there
was danger of the man slipping
through the window and being hurled 10
the ground. Instantly the porter realized
the danger of the young man, and graf
bling him by the feet finally succeeded in
SStIiDR ulIu UhCk luGO Lu6 by bnlS
time the conductor, who had been called
by the porter, and several of the passen-
gers had hurried TO the berth to learn
what had caused the excitement. The
young man seemed daZed al first, as
though he were but partially awake, but
gradually he realized his situation and
shuddered as ne learned what a narrow
escape from death he had. He arose and
dressed himself. He then walked back TO
the rear OF the car and told the porter that
he would never forget what had been done
for him, as his life had been saved by his
timely arrival. He said that his name
was q. f. King and that he was en- route
to Washington. He was returning from
an extended trip in the West, where he
had gone for his health. Yesterday after
noon he had eaten unusually heartily
while travelling in the buffet car. After
he had retired to his berth for the night
he fell into restless sleep and finally
had an attack of the nightmare. He
dreamed that the sleeping car was on
fire. The rumbling noise of the moving
train gave him the impression that the
passengers were hurrying to and fro try
ing to escape from the car. While still
asleep it is supposed that he made dash
toward the window and tried to plunge
through head first.

HARDEE's BATTLEFLAG.

A battle flag in the collection was the
field standard of Hardee's third army
corps, and served rs guide in many
battles, from Shiloh to Missionary Ridge
and Atlanta. One Of Col. Sam Smiths
soldiers, OF the Arkansas volunteers,
Under Cen. Pat Cleburne, cut from his
shIrttail the cloth which was sewed into
and forms the white portion OF the nag.
The patched and repaired blue cloth was
also sadly rent by shot and shell in the
engagements which were participated in
by the western army.
The battle flag Of Hafdee's famous old
third army oorp-, consisted Of a white
moon IN the centre Of a blue field. a
bayonet, also included among DR.. Nagle's
gifts, did more ard better service in
sticking pigs and as candlestick than
as an implement OF legsli2ed murder in
the way OF warfare. The two pieces OF
a venomous and villaiuous explosive bull
let were found on the field OF Shiloh. A
tampon screw aud brush are all that
were LETT OF an Enfield rifle, which was
shattered into fragments in company
with a Confederate soldier at Shiloh.

said tall, stout, Incorporating gentle
man with an intelligent face half-hidden
by luxuriant Iron-gray beard. The gen.
tleman was DR.. j. K. Maggie, of'St. Angus
tine, Fla, and his listener a Star re-
porter. For long time the authorities
OF the National Museum have endeavored
to obtain uniform worn by Confede r
ate officer during the late struggle. At
that time DR.. Nagle was a surgeon BY
commission in the Confederate service
and actively employed in the field, chiefly
in Gen. W. }. Hardee's corps, known as
the third army corps. He has also OBJ
tanned some prominence by gift to the
National Museum OF a valuable collection
of United States one cent pieces. A short
while after this he presented the same
museum with the uniform mentioned and
also some additional relics of the Con-
federacy. They have been placed by the
museum authorities in a glass case-the
first to the right on the centre aisle as
you enter by the north door-in which al
so are exhibited the clothes worn by Gen.
Santa Anna, of Mexican fame.
A REGULATION CONFEDERATE COAT.
Pictures accompanying DR.. Nagle's
coat snow I1e pattern winch was re-
quired to be worn. The collar was COW
cred with black velvet, and the insignia
of rank was large gold or embroidered
star placed near the front and at point
on line with the row OF buttons on each
side. The sleeves were covered with
chevrons OF gold lace, and as per pattern
represented in the picture. The cuffs
were Of black cloth or velvet, cut with
point up the outside seam of sleeves.
The vests represent full dress in blue
cloth, and fatigue dress in gray cloth. The
pants OF regulation pattern were of dark
blue cloth, having an inch stripe of black
velvet the whole length of the outer seam
and edged with narrow gold lace. The
buttons In 1864 cost 500 each. The gold
lace 800 per yard. The gray cloth of the
uniform, trimmings, and making, cost
over $4,000, in Confederate currency
ard what is lett was worn in active SER
vice from the first day that it was put on
until a month or two after the explosion
OF the COnfederacy occurred at Green's
boro', n. e. The belt has the state arms
OF Arkansas on the buckle. 1t was re-

acy, the pro forma ceremonies of which
occurred at PocahOntas, Ark, in June,

The doctor said we had no further need of
him. and ceased his visits. In three or four
weeks complete cure was wrought, leaving
the little fellows person as white and healthy
as though he had never been attacked In my
opinion, your valuable remedies saved his
life. and to-day he is a strong, healthy child

having ever occurred. You are welcome to

A SUBSTITUTE FOR A SASH.

The green cord, originally a curtain
cord, was used during the last two years
of the war as substitute for the green
silk sash, which the regulations required
for a surgeons equipments. The trst one
used by surgeon Maggie was magnifi-
cent woven silk sash, with lovely tassels
and bullion ornaments. AS the threads
were broken and became unraveled, the
pieces were plated into whip crackers,
and also used by the bushelers to patch
rents and broken places in clothes, etc.
A remnant Of shirt is specimen of
what Surgeon Nagle had to wear for
many months OF the later period of the
war. AS he started from Memphis in 1861
with linen shirts, which cost six gold
dollars each, the contrast OF then and now
Is rather sad commentary on the results
OF war, and especially OF defeat and Its
attendant inconvenience. A tin "kitch-
en-" with it's various appurtenances,
also presented to the museum by Dr..
Maggie, was an invaluable friend to a
soldier who could either buy, beg or steal,
eggs to cook, coffee to boil or ratons 10
carry. IL was mighty useful "trick"
for general service and a soldiers pur-
poses.
